The man behind
the bandages is also known as Hitokiri Battousai's successor.
While Kenshin, under the name Battousai, worked the higher,
more important assassinations, Shishio worked underground,
so to say. His skills were equal, or maybe, even greater,
than Kenshin's, thus, he was a worthy successor. Though,
he was not always wrapped like a mummy. When
the Meiji Government came into play, Shishio was betrayed.
He was beaten down by his own men and had gasoline poured
on his body, then was set on fire because he had known
too much about the Meiji Government and all of their dirty
little secrets. That
was the new government's mistake.
Somehow, Shishio
had survived. His body temperature was abnormal, almost
like the flames of hell were inside him, and he had suffered
severe burns, but he had swore from that day forth to
overthrow the Meiji Government and take Japan under his
own hand. He had devised a plan, his Kuni Tori, and gathered
ten strong and skilled men and women to form his ultimate
Juppon Gatana.
Shishio became
a threat during the tenth year of the Meiji Government's
reign. He had made his plans known, thus, Kenshin was
asked to fight Shishio for the country's sake. The two
hitokiris clashed after some time, and that's when Shishio
perished in battle. There's
a certain limit Shishio's body can endure because of his
abnormal body temperature. His limit of action such as
fighting in combat is only a mere fifteen minutes. After
the alotted time, Shishio's body produces sweat, leading
him to eventually comubst. That he did.
While alive,
Shishio enjoyed some of the finer things in life. He had
Yumi, one of the most expensive prostitues, as his girlfriend,
owned some of the finest swords, including Kenshin's new
Sakabatou's other half, Mugen Jin, and even had some of
the finest black market material, i.e. the Rengoku battleship
purchased from Enishi. To those who knew him well, Shishio
was an intelligent man. Although sometimes crazy, he was
well respected by those that believed in him to overthrow
what they saw as a corrupt government.
